Chris Douglas-Roberts has been waived by the Celtics.

He was never part of the Celtics' future plans, and he doesn't have enough value to be considered as an asset in a future trade. He'll likely be able to sign on to be a reserve on another team, but he's unlikely to offer any fantasy value in most leagues. Jan 18 - 4:49 PM

Chris Douglas-Roberts has been sent to Boston as part of Thursday's three-team deal.

CDR wasn't worth owning as a member of the Clippers, and he won't be worth owning as a member of the Celtics. He was included in the deal to make the salaries work with the Clippers getting Austin Rivers, but the Celtics will likely waive him or use him in another trade, as he just doesn't make sense on a rebuilding team.

According to the Boston Globe, Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley will likely be the starting backcourt for the Celtics next season.

Isaiah Thomas would like to start, but the Celtics seem to prefer him in a sixth-man role. Smart showed a lot of improvement in the summer league before suffering a couple of dislocated fingers, so he should be penciled in as the starting PG on opening night. Smart averaged 9.1 points, 3.8 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 3-pointers per game after the All-Star break, so he's worth a late-round pick in standard leagues.

Thomas also added 11 boards and seven dimes for good measure, but this is really notable because it's clear Thomas' wrist, which he had surgery on in early July, is good to go moving forward. After the Celtics said Thomas' procedure would have no long-term effects, it appears that is indeed the case.

The Boston Globe predicts that Jae Crowder will be the starting small forward next season.

The Celtics love Crowder's toughness, energy and defense, so this would make a lot of sense. He posted averages of 11.5 points, 5.8 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 3-pointers in 27.4 minutes per game after the All-Star break, so there is some potential here. Even if he does start at SF, there are a lot of players vying for minutes in Boston and Crowder's upside could be capped in what could be a very deep rotation.

Kelly Olynyk has reportedly been rebuffed by Kevin Love in his attempts to apologize to the Cavaliers forward.

Olynyk and his representatives have reached out to Love's camp numerous times so that Olynyk can personally apologize to Love and tell him that he never intended to injure Love, but Love has declined to take his call. Love said on Wednesday that he'll save that conversation for later down the road and is currently concentrating on rehabbing his disclolated shoulder and supporting his teammates as they continue their playoff run. "Oh yeah. I'm over it," Love said. "I'm just trying to get healthy."
